Latest email on Lys's hope to be allowed to remain in our lives, for your encouragement and prayer.
:)
Here is the update regarding Lysette's asylum matter. Please could you forward it to Uncle Tom Cobbly?
Hi folks. This is what the letter from Lysette's lawyer, dated 12th June says:
The lawyers from the Home Office ..."have agreed that your case should be allowed in the Court of Appeal to the extent that it is sent back for rehearing before a different Asylum and Immigration Tribunal because it is accepted that it is wrong in a matter of law for the last Tribunal not to consider the Article 8 family life elements of your appeal.
This means you will have a fresh appeal before the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal."
This should happen in 3-6 months.
It is in fact, going back a step as it's a rehearing and has to work in Lysette's favour as even if the decision were to go against her (which it won't) it's making that further away. The longer she is here, forming relationships and becoming more integrated into British society, WCC and family life, the more likely she is to win an Article 8 appeal.
Now, at last, a judge will look at all those letters we wrote over a year ago, telling them how much Lysette was part of our community and families. If you didn't write one, don't worry. When Lysette visits her lawyer, she'll ask what other evidence would be useful and I'll let you know.
In the mean time, remember to PRAY SPECIFICALLY for:
Amos 5:24 to be fulfilled in Lysette's case and in the British courts.
Lysette's lawyer,Jawaid Luqmani, as he prepares her case. Pray he'll ask the right questions, give the right evidence, be blessed for taking on her case (that's another miracle you can ask us about another time).
Lysette, as she waits, for peace, and as she travels to see her lawyer in London and to the court, that all the practicalities will go smoothly.
The Asylum & Immigration Tribunal judge that will hear her case, that God will prepare his heart and show him what is right.
And from the last email,
Pray for her to win that appeal and be granted the right to remain in the UK.
Pray for the strongholds of the enemy to be broken and for God's kingdom to come in the Home Office and in the courts of this land.
Pray that Lysette's landlord will keep his contract with the Home Office's accommodation provider and she'll be able to stay in that house (unless there's a better one) until everything is settled.
I believe the strongholds of the enemy in this case are crumbling, that the tide has turned. But we can't afford to be complacent. Rise up, warriors, and pray! Claim the victory for Lysette. It was snatched away before, let's not let that happen again.
God Bless you all. Love
